This book is amazing. I need every cis person to read this book right now. Reasons why this is amazing:
- acknowledges the fact that this is only about cis people and that there is still a lack of research on trans people.
- discusses anatomy in detail and historically to give you a broad understanding.
- talks about sex/sexual function from a physical, mental, physiological, moral, cultural, social, and trauma related point of view.
- has real life examples and worksheets to help you process and understand the different things that are brought up and addressed.
- consistently reminds you that you are normal and what is something that should be brought to a doctor's notice.
- compares male and female sexual function and says why it is bullshit to use male standards as THE standard when both are so vastly different
And honestly there is so much more to this book that I could go on forever. I've bought it so I can reread it and annotate it and really get these lessons in my brain. I'm recommending this to every person I see because I think it is just so important.
